Background:
On December 10, 2019, the Board approved the CAD System Mobile Services Interlocal Agreements between Seminole County and the cities of Lake Mary, Longwood, Oviedo, Sanford, and the Sanford Airport Authority for the CAD Systems Mobile Services.
Seminole County, along with all the Cities within Seminole County, currently participate in the countywide First Response system for Fire and EMS Services. Seminole County provides emergency service communications for all agencies. This communication/dispatch service utilizes a new location/GPS-based Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System. The Interlocal Agreements utilize Mobile Computing Devices (MCD) and Mobile Vehicle Routers (MVR) with cellular data service. Each agency reimburses and the County’s Fire Department transfers funds annually for the cost of the MCD & MVR replacement, providing other services, including but not limited to routine maintenance and emergency repairs, data transport services, etc.
Ongoing support and maintenance are budgeted and expended annually through the Fire Department Mobile Refresh Project (02014007). Hardware is budgeted annually then transferred to the project reserves where held for refresh. The lifecycle for hardware is 4-year MCD and 5-year MVR.
BAR 25-029 will transfer funds from Fire Department Mobile Refresh Project Reserves to operating where current Mobile Vehicle Routers (MVR) that have reached the 5-year life cycle can be refreshed.
Technology Replacement Fund (00111), Fire Department Mobile Refresh Project (02014007) Reserves are currently budgeted at $620k
